These Copper Burrs pair well with our smooth shank, copper common nails. Commonly used in lapstrake boatbuilding, these burrs will fit over a copper nail and then the tip of the nail is blunted over to create a copper rivet.
The gauge number on the burr is meant to correspond to the size nail that it is meant to be used with. However, many customers prefer either a tighter or looser fit, so in-between sizing is available and can be chosen with the drop-down box above. The handy measurement guide below will help determine which size burr you require. You can cross-reference it with the similar guide on the copper nail page.
